So I went online to order my July comics today.
Last month at about the same time I did the same thing (with regard to the June comics, of course), and also noticed something called "Pull List" on the menu. (It may have been there all the time, old eyes and tiny fonts don't work all that well together.) Anyway, I thought "hey, cool, I can get a head start ordering and lessen the chances of forgetting anything!"
This month, remembering that I'd set that up, I clicked on the list, looked up at the top of the screen where you get a running total for your shopping cart, and just about went into shock.
Turns out that if you use the pull list, it automatically adds every single variant cover for all the books you're ordering.
Once I'd removed the variants, the total was within the acceptable range.
All right, I know that I care less than a lot of folks about the covers on my comics. A bad cover will never stop me from buying a book I want. It just won't. I suppose that if I were buying my books in person, and there was more than one cover available for a book, and there was no price difference among them, I might prefer one cover over another. But to pay more for a comic just because of the cover? Just not happening.

i hate variants its stupid and it confuses me makes me think i'm missing a comic when i already own it. i've never bought a variant on purpose. it seems like such a waste to me. a good cover however will make me pick up a book i never would.
It's a good thing you checked...that was rather sneaky of them.
